Examples of Funeral Home Neglect
A funeral home can provide great comfort when a loved one has passed. However, if they fail to provide the level of care that’s to be expected, they can instead cause tremendous hardship.
Amid the coronavirus crisis, some funeral homes have fallen short in their responsibility to care for the deceased. They should be held accountable for actions such as:
- Mishandling, dropping, or losing the body
- Storing bodies in unrefrigerated trucks or other vehicles
- Stacking bodies on top of one another
- Burying the wrong body
- Failing to properly embalm the body
- Selling body parts
- Stealing personal property from the deceased
Proving Negligence
If a family member passed away and their remains were neglected or abused by a funeral home, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. “Negligence” is the legal term for liability, or responsibility, in these cases, and our attorneys can fight on your behalf to prove it. This generally requires establishing the following:
- The funeral home owed a duty of care to treat the deceased in a responsible and respectful manner.
- They breached their duty, or legal obligation to avoid harming your loved one’s remains.
- Their actions directly caused you harm.
- You suffered losses as a result, whether financial, emotional, or otherwise.
